A lot of these books are extremely good. It depends a lot on what you like.

Toni Morrison's writing is very dense and intense, and reading it feels kind of like the reading equivalent of being in a very humid, thick-growing place, only instead of vines and leaves, it's images and emotions. Faulkner is the same way -- sentences like strangler vines You might like that and you might not. I love it.

Dreiser's An American Tragedy is almost as dense in its own way, but more journalistic, more like walking a crowded city street than tramping through the Everglades. It's like what would happen if a true crime author got too wrapped up in his subject to stick to verifiable facts, gave up, and wrote a big, sprawling novel instead -- which is pretty much exactly what did happen. It's one of the least popular books on that list, and one of my favorites -- a compelling look at some hidden sides of life in early 20thc America.

The Great Gatsby is poetic, but more lightly written -- not that it's shallow (though the characters tend to be) but reading it is more like walking alone in a nice park at sundown -- easy and pleasant and a little ominous. You can read the whole thing in about a day.

Catch-22 is a dark comedy satire about war and bureaucracy, and very, very funny sometimes. 1984 is an unrelentingly grim dystopia where you don't even get good mind-control drugs to pass the time (but very vivid, if you like dystopias you can taste) that is also a satire of the time it was written. Lolita is a maddeningly eloquent comedy of horrors narrated by a pedophile. If you're up for that, it's really good.

What kinds of things do you usually like to read?
